A Reacher novel is the closest thing to guaranteed joy short of a honeymoon. -- Rocky Mountain News <br> <br> Reacher, a former Army military police major, is a character like no other. Intuitive, independent, indomitable - he walks softly and carries a very big stick. -- The Biloxi Sun Herald <br> Plenty of suspense writers play the tough-guy-with-a-heart-of-gold card, but Child is indelibly skillful, quickly sketching intriguing characters as he drops bombshell after bombshell. With its taciturn but engaging hero and almost unbearably prolonged tension, The Hard Way makes reading easy indeed. -- The Miami Herald <br> In The Hard Way, Reacher is better than ever. -- Contra Costa Times <br> Fans...will find themselves hanging onto their armchairs for dear life. The Hard Way is a breathless, well-paced thriller. -- Denver Post <br> <br> Nine red-hot books ago, Lee Child concocted the rough, tough Superman of the crime-busting genre, as smart and charismatic as he is unbeatable. And then Mr. Child broke the mold. Early next week (why delay good news?), Reacher returns in this series' 10th installment, The Hard Way. It's one more labyrinthine story that takes off like a shot: as usual, Mr. Child has you at hello. --Janet Maslin, The New York Times<br> <br> Plunges Reacher into one of his most challenging-and thoroughly engrossing-adventures to date. -- Publishers Weekly, starred review <br> Like all the best thrillers, this one is about more than pace--the narrative propels you forward with a locomotive's thrust, but Child never loses sight of the small detail or the human fabric. -- Booklist, starred review <br> [Child] shows again his mastery of the thriller.... Jack Reacher mayknow the time to the minute without a watch and bring justice to bear wherever he goes, but this time he doest it the hard way, sweating the details and working the clues.... Tension builds through the plot twists to another riveting finish. -- Library Journal, starred review
